( OP' z -- • v , -- -:-.. e !: - - - ''' , l'il ~ i 3- - ', ' --) Zy• %LI) y is+ LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1836. Mr. O'CoNNELL has a second time passed unhurt through the Tory furnace. The fire was seven times heated, but it failed to singe a single hair of the Hryn. and Learned Gentleman's wig. The servility of the Tory faction has been well displayed, iU the blind and imbecile rancour with which they followed up an in vestigation, which places A 1.% O'CoNNELL in a more honourable and commp,,id;ng position than he ever before occupied. liad the Conservatives abstained from pressing this i - ,iquiry, they would have had some thing apparently suspicious to taunt him with—they might have,-;_'',lsinuated a charge which could only be refutedtV reference to the general character of the and Learned Member for Dublin—or they might have allowed him to be pure from the same cause which keeps many women virtuous—the absence of temptation. But what has resulted from this foul conspiracy to destroy the political influence of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ? Why, a solemn vote of the House of Commons, preceded by the unanimous reso lution of a Committee of that House, declaring Mr. O'CONNELL not only free from all taint, but free un der circumstances which offered strong, temptations to corruption. This the Tories themselves, though most - reluctantly, were compelled to admit. Even Sir JAMES GRAHA M stated that he had carefully read over the whole of the evidence, and that he was bound fairly and candidly to state that Mr. O'CONNELL was, throughout the whole transaction, acting as agent pot as principal ; that the agen c y was not of Mr. ~, ' ~ THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 23, I-:•6. O'CONNELL'S seeking, nor did he desire it, brit ra-' titer that it was forced upon lids ; and that in no part of the transacti' kkia he contemplate personal benefit to hinivir. Therefore, in the broadest and fullest sense of the word, he was bound giVe a f'ull and en tire :acquittal of ate Mori. and- Learned Gentleman. Sir Rogritt PEEL, with that sagacity for which he distinguished, saw at once the blundeT Which Mr. TIA RDY had made ; and thekkgh ale hi g ht Hon. Ba ronet laboured htedto extricate him ) tie !edged that had he been deni . gqtts, he would not have advised such a prNei:tl'ing. We give th e f u ll es t cre dit to thisstatement of the Right Hon. the Member for Tarnworth. He is too able a (Itttician to afford his political opponents epprtunities of appearing more immaculate itt en , eves of their countrymen, The speech of Sir F. POLLOCK proves the extent to which some men will go in .sarrifieing their own character in defence of their party. A more gratui tous instance of self-immolation was never offered at the shrine of Toryism, than the Honourable Gentleman's exposition of his own conduct, during the Investigation of the Select Committee on the Carlow Election. In fact, the whole burden of his speech last night went to prove, that he was himself wilfully and knowingly guilty of a neglect of a duty imposed upon him by the House of Commons. Sir F. PoL LOCK, it appears, has such a veneration for the tech nicalities of his profession, that rather than depart from them, even in the presence of a Committee of the House of Commons—a tribunal perfectly distinct from the regular Courts of Law—he chooses to fail in the only object which he ought to have in view— the eliciting of the whole truth ! But why did he not mention these professional scruples to the Committee at the time of its sitting ? Why even did lie not say something of them when the Report was brought up ? Was it not his duty to have pointed out those obstacles to the discovery' of the truth, which, to him as a lawyer, hedged in by precedents, were insurmountable ? He was bound to have ascertained the extent of the Com mittee's jurisdiction, before confining himself within the limits prescribed to special pleaders at the Old Bailey. 'Whatever may be thought of Sir F. PoL LOCK as a practising lawyer, his speech last night proves that he is deficient of every element that goes to constitute the mind of a great statesman. His plea was that of a pettyfogging attorney—not the argument of an enlightened constitutional legislator. Nor was it much to his credit to insinuate what he might have done, had - he not been trammelled by professional technicalities. In his zeal to save the sinking cause of Conservatism Sir F. POLLOCK travelled back for nearly a century in search of a precedent establishing the right of Parlia ment to punish constituencies for intentional corrup tion. This was not enough. The Hon. Gen tleman ought to have found a precedent for punishing constituencies neither actually nor intentionally guilty of bribery. This would have just hit the case before the House. Or, if he failed in finding such a prece dent, any other establishing the Parliamentary right of punishing constituencies, upon a suspicion of bribery by any faction of the House of Commons, would have done just as well. But the Oxford case was entirely distinct from the Carlow affair. The Corpo ration of Oxford was itself the constituency ; it offered to sell itself for a sum of money, to be applied to pur poses quite distinct from Parliamentary representation ; it might so sell itself : and therefore the final act being alike criminal and possible, it is a principle of our law that the offer to commit it would constitute a criminal offence. But Mr. O'CONNELL is neither an elector of Carlow, nor a patron of the county ; and there fore, though he might purchase, he could not possibly sell the representation of it, because he neither has the whole nor any part of it. In fact Mr. O'CoN NELL has been accused of an impossible crime. The influence which he has in Carlow is that of which Parliament cannot deprive him ; and, standing apart from the tenure of property, is clearly beyond the cog nizance of the Legislature. With all his sophistry, and quibbling, Sir F. POLLOCK failed in showing greater analogy between the case of the Corporation of Oxford in 1767, and the Carlow Election in 1836, than there is between ARISTOTLE'S work on meta physics, and Master SIMPSON'S treatise on the act of dancing Hornpipes. ment : The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER alone had the courage to expose the Tory conspiracy to ruin Mr. O'CoNNELL, under the pretence of a zeal for Consti tutional purity of election. When he put the question direct to Mr. HARDY and the Gentlemen who took part with him, whether there would have been a word spoken about Carlow had Mr. O'CONNELL not been impli cated in it, the Conservatives looked as blank as when Sir B. PEEL announced the dissolution of the nine days' wonder, which took the title of a Conservative Administration. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Sir R. PEEL both bore testimony to the good conduct and efficiency of the Metropolitan Police force. The former said, "so far as he had been able to judge of the police, he had reason to be satisfied, both with the small portion which was under the authority of the police Magis trates, and the larger body which was under the direc tion of the Commissioners of Police." The Right Hon. Baronet expressed himself to a similar effect— a eulogium which is no more than the Police force de serve; for—notwithstanding the violent prejudices that were raised against them, on the first institution of their body, and in which we never took a part, but on the contrary, endeavoured to allay them—they have almost uniformly conducted themselves,' and not sel dom on occasions that required the exercise of the utmost discretion, with consummate tact and modera tit-A As for the two Commissioners to whom _Sir ROBERT PEEL alludes, as having acted "with un abated zeal and activity in the discharge of the duties which had devolved upon them, and also in perfect harmony together," we agree with him in thinking that, in consideration of their character and conduct, and " the complete success of the experiment," they have a claim " to some additional remuneration." The question of Irish Tithes comes on in the House of Commons on Monday, when Lord MoRPETIr will submit the Ministerial plan for converting tithe into a rent-charge on land in that part of the kingdom. There is no reason to believe that the forthcoming measure will differ any material degree from that brought forward last Session, which was hurked in the House of Lords. The commutation will be based on the principle of deducting from the gross value of the tithe, a portion equivalent to the expences incurred by the tithe-owners in collecting, housing, marketing, &c., as is proposed to be done in the English Tithe Bill now befo re th e H ouse; w ith d ue p rov i s i o ns for ap propriating to national purposes any surplus that may remain after the wants of the Protestant clergy have been supplied. That • any Tithe Bill for Ireland should be recommended to the country by the MEL BOURNE Administratiou without containing such pro visions, is a calumny which nothing but factious .stu pidity could h ave i nvente d . It is almost too nd gross , • even for the T or i es w h o h ave hatched and circulates into di scre dit, and in order to bri ng th e G overnment who are driven t o th e i r wit's end —no wyeeeltilothnerto,, only may be said—for means wherewith to great assailan an I,'rni - 1 nistration, which all their attacks • served to establish more firmly in the a qe‘To con _ Pe!'"u 4 do, distance it fidence of the nation. Lord .IVlontiEni stated last night, in answer to a questidn asktid By fair lt. .pEtt.; that he would Sin Monday move a iesOlniiiin iii the following terms :—" To corn . miitc the cOniTiOsitibn of tithes upon a rent-charge upon OWnerS of property, and to make furthet O'ctilsions for the better regula: titan o dues and ic3,tnnek" -- -- 2 4 itSolli tion se) *oirdeti, say, as to compiAt'ti.ti ie appropriation principle without afford ing any pretext to the factious part of the House to resist it.

MORNING.—A telegraphic despatch announces that Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg entered Lisbon on the Bth of April at noon, and that the mar. riage of her Mesty, the Queen of Portugal, with his Royal Highness otat celebrated on the 9th, at one o'clock in the af ternoon. • It remains to be seen what will be done with respect to the inistry.-21foteiteur. A letter eom St. Petersburr reports the following speech of the Emperor Nicholas ;—"lngland will not intervene in Spain. We shall imitate it in Spain by ( Q . y. not) inter vening in Turkey. If it attacas our principles, we attack its commerce. It could not remain in the Peninsula; as for us, if we once entered Constantinople, we should re main there." England, however, interferes; we shall see what will follow.—Journal du Commerce. M. Thiers has recently consented to give:the guarantee of France for a payment of 1,500,000 francs on the last series of the Greek Loan. It has been stipulated that this sum shall not be employed for the expenses of the Government, but in paying the arrears of interest due on the 40 millions, which have already been swallowed up. Thus the first two series of the loan have been employed in repaying the expence of a Bavarian army, the presence of which has contributed to keep up the revolt in Greece. The last, as it seems, will be employed in paying annually the interest of the RUM lent, till the loan is completely exhausted. It was worth while truly to fight the battle of Navarino, to send our army to Greece, to banish our treasures in the blood of our soldiers in order to csta'elish a Bavarian Prince, who does not know either how to give a constitution to a country which does not, however, owe its liberty to him, or to main tain, with the resources of the country, an authority which is contested by all parties. . . _ It is affii•med for certain that the French Government has resolved on allowing 6,000 men to be added to the Foreign Legion; the men to be taken exclusively from the French re giMents. Above all things, it is said particular care will be taken in the selection of the officers, who will be authorised to retain their rank, and to reckon the time that they may serve in the Spanish army as if it had been passed in the French service. Recent letters from Algiers announce' that before quitting Me s deah, Marshal Clausel formed an entrenched camp, de fended by four blockhouse, in advance of that place. It is supposed he will do the same at Miliana, and leave some com panies of auxiliary troops in these two towns, under the order of the Bey, whom he has installed there.—Messayer, April 21.

It ap pears that a Bill was reported in the Senate for the immediate increase of the American army.

Sir,—According to information received after my leaving Matamoras, I learned that the insurgent forces had sent their cavalry towards Golied, for making incursions. I therefore made an effort, and forcing a march during three nights and three days, I arrived there at dawn of day, not having more than 100 cavalry. I attacked the enemy in the houses that served for barracks. There were left 16 dead and 21 pri soners, among whom were some officers. All the army with 100 horses, are in my possession. JOSE UREA. Since the above was in type, we learn that Colonel Grant and Major Morris have been killed by the Mexican forces un der Rodrigues, and their forces dispersed with the loss of 32 killed and four prisoners. We further learn by the schooner Turner, in 7 days from Matagordo, that General Cos, with 4,000 Mexicans, had made an assault on Fort Alamo, and after a short action was com pletely defeated and routed, with the loss of 500 men—his best troops—killed on the spot. Santa Anna was called off in time to prevent an insurrec. tion in the interior of Mexico. This, however, is only a rumour. By a Quebec Gazette Extraordinary, which has just been "received, we find that the Provincial Parliament of Lower Canada has been abruptly closed by his Ex cellency the GOVERNOR, in a speech, from which we give the following important extracts : The advanced season of the year, and the want of a suf ficient number of Members in both liquses for the dispatch of public business, render it expedient that I should prorogue this Parliament. It is to .. me a matter of sincere regret, that the offers of peace and conciliation, of which I was the bearer to this coun try, have not led to the result which I had hoped for. The consequence of their rejection, and of the demands which have been made on his Majesty, I will not venture to predict. In the speech with which I opened the Session, I announced that should you consent to discharge the arrears due to the public officers, and provide for their maintenance, pending the inquiries which his Majesty had commanded to be made in the province, no part of the surplus revenue of the Crown should be touched during these inquiries without your assent. As no provision has been made for the purposes contemplated in that proposal, I shall be under the necessity of applying the revenue, at the disposal of the Crown, as far as they will .extend, to the pay ment of the public servants, and towards the current expenses of the Civil Government. What further measures must be adopted, for the remova of the difficulties to which the affairs of the province are re- duced, the authorities in England must now determine.. EXETER-HALL MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The last of these grand entertainments took place last night. The subject selected for the evening's performance was the " Mes siah," and never before did we hear it performed with more grandeur and beauty. Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Seguin, and Mrs. Knyvett, supported with much skill and judgment the airs of this master-piece of the great composer, and Mr.. Sapio, Mr. Machin, and others, were very effective in those of a bolder style. The choruses were executed with the greatest preci sion. In short, the whole performance gave universal satis faction. The Hall was fashionably attended, but not so crowded as on previous nights. DREADFUL FIRE AND Loss OF LlFE.—About four o'clock this morning the inhabitants of Fenchurch-street and its neighbourhood were dreadfully alarmed, by a fire breaking out in the house occupied by Mr. William Symes, No. 5, Fenchurch-buildings, which is entirely destroyed. So rapidly did the flames spread, and being at such an early hour,' when the inmates were fast asleep, it was with the greatest difficulty that they were aroused to a sense of their danger. The engines were soon on the spot, and having an abundant supply of water, the fire was confined to the house in which it commenced ; but, dreadful to relate, Mr. W. Symes, an elderly gentleman, has fallen a prey to the devouring element, and his body is not yet found. The engines still continue to play on the ruins ; and it is impossible at present to give any idea how the fire originated, or the amount of property d estroye d. Lieut. Bisson, R.N. , has received orders from the Admiralty to hire a steamer to tow the Quail to England. OUR ARISTOCRACY. —About eight o'clock on Thursday evening, the 7th inst., the Marquis of Waterford being determined to embrace the first opportunity of giving the inhabitants of Beverley a display of his high breeding, commenced by throwing a quantity of meat out of a butcher's shop into the street.

The division which yesterday took place in the Chamber of the Procuradores, may be considered as decisive of the rela tive strength of the parties. It was on the 11th paragraph of the Address. 115 members were present, 3 of whom ob i tained from voting altogether, 102 voted with the Ministry and 10 only for the Oppositon, namely—lsturiz, Galiano, Count de Las Navas, Flores Calderon, Cabeliero Flores Es treda, Benavides, Gamundo, Parejo, and De Pedro ; a result palpably refuting the assertions of your Tory papers with re gard to the sentiments entertained by the newly elected Cham ber towards the Mendizabal Administration. M. Fernandez Pereira, a new Member, greatly distin guished himself in this debate, in one of the most brilliant speeches heard this Session. The Funds improved yesterday upon Change ; grid 1.. r0m the army the accounts bear the most favourable aspect. That superb body of men, the Queen's Cazadores, to the number of 3,000, exercised yesterday. Two battalions are to join the army of the North. The British Legion was to march on the 12th to Bilboa, by way of Durango ; this place being occupied by the Car lists, and a most important position, its possession would, no doubt, be severely contested.

'f t THE ALLEGED " ECLAIRCISSEMENT."—WC can state, on the best authority, that the cause of the separation which has lately taken place between a celebrated literary /41. P. and his Lady, is not that which has been assigned by 'it;rne Journals, but was produced alone by incompatibility of temper, neither party having any other cause of complaint.— „Kent Herald. SCOTCH MEAT.—In the Taw material of divers eatables, Dumfries-shire and Galloway have long ministered to the multitudinous mouths of Lancashire and counties farther south, including the great Babel itself. Steam conveyance, in addition to many other marvels, is destined to become a most efficient agent in counteracting gluts, and equalising prices. At present the best bullocks, best calves, best sheep, lambs, and porkers find their way to the south. But fashion has its tides as well as the ocean, and highly as Scotch butcher meat is prized at present, the Cocknies, ere long, will be glad to fall back on Lincolnshire roasts and Kentish wethers. The steamers too, in the end, will do much more to mend than to mar our markets.—Dumfries Courier. A few days since the foundation of a watch-house was laid down on the hill near Hastings, called Cuckoo Hill, in doing which the proprietors thought proper to place some silver, that is, one shilling, one sixpence, and a fourpenny piece, together with some copper, under the first stone. Dur ing the night some industrious thief removed the work, and walked off with the coins that had been deposited, in value not quite two shillings.—Brighton Gazette. Last week a couple presented themselves to be mar ried at the parish church of Elham. The clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Hoggins, had partly performed the ceremony, when, as our informant states, on some little blundering in making the responses on the part of the bride, he imediately threw off his gown and walked away, leaving the parties to console them selves for their disappointment as best they could. --Kent Herald. We understand that the wheat crops in general are looking strong and healthy, having suffered little from the severity and long duration of the winter.—Dorset Chronicle.

These engravings arc executed by some of the best ar tists of the day, viz., Cousins, Lucas, Lupton, Turner, and ' Ward, and are worthy of their reputation. Tue first is a full-length portrait of his present Majesty, and is remarkable for the ease and grace of the attitude. Perhaps the likeness may be considered a little flatter ing, and somewhat too juvenile ; but when did courtly painter—and if man was a courtier, Sir Thomas Lawrence was—ever study to avoid defects like these ? Had the late President of the Royal Academy adhered to literal exactness in his portraits, he never would have been such a favourite with the aristocracy as he was. Of the like ness of Donna Maria, Queen of Portugal, we cannot speak, having never bad the good fortune to see the fair original ; she forms, however, a very agreeable, not to say pretty subject for a painting. The engraving is finished in very superior stylt!. But dedidedly the best in the Number is that entitled " Natur's?," which is the portrait of two as lovely children as ever the sun shone upon. If the future Numbers are executed in the same careful manner in which this is, we can have no doubt of their popularity. • KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) TILE CORPORATION OF LEICESTER V. THE LATE TOWN CLERK. The ATTORNEI.GENRRAL said he had an application to make on the part of the Mayor, bailiffs, and town council, of the borough of Leicester. It was for a rule to show cause why the late Town-Clerk of the Corporation of Leicester, who was also solicitor to the old Corporation, should not de liver in his bill for business done for the old Corporation, and an account current giving credit for monies he had re ceived, He (the Attorney-General) did not wish to throw the slightett reflection upon him . or any other person ; but it appeared that shortly before the election of the present Town Council, sales of considerable property belonging to the Corporation took place, and the money came into the hands of the Town Clerk and solicitor, who had retained a sum of 4,500/. to pay what he said he claimed against the old Cor poration for business done. The new Town Council had objected to this, and wished to see his bill, and to have an account of that money. No document of any kind was forthcoming, and the Town Clerk refused to give any bill, or any account whatever. The case had been heard on a summons before Mr. Justice Williams, but on account of the novelty of the case; he had thought fit to refer it to the full Court. On that occasion, the solicitor against whom the present applica tion wa3 made, had put in an affidavit, setting forth in general terms that he had delivered a bill, but not stating at what time, or what was its purport. The new Town Council, therefore, contended that they had a right to call for a bill, in order to have it referred to taxation, and to know what monies were in his hands. It might turn out that. the Town Clerk was entitled to the sum he claimed, and that the whole was a perfectly honourable, fair, and bona fide transaction. Lord DeNmAN—When did the action for which the business was done terminate ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—He was attorney for the old Corporation in a great number of suits—the sale of the property took place just before the elections in December last, and he alleges that he then retained this sum upon a settlement of accounts with the Corporation, if I may so term it, going out. When the case came before Mr. Justice Williams al difficulty was started by him as to whether there was anything that could connect the new with the old Corporation ; but I con tend, with great submission, that there is a complete identify between the two Corporations, because it is the same as if a new charter bad been granted, and there is no discontinuance of functions. Lord DENMAN—What is the object of your rule? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL---That he should deliver in an account of the business done by him, and the money received. COURT—You may take a rule. CURRENCY OF BARBADOES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Your city article of yesterday states that a Bill has passed the House of Assembly at Barbadoes authorising the sterling British shilling to be legal tender for Is. 64d. Island currency, and the British sterling sixpence to be legal tender for 10d., ; thus it appears that two sixpences are to be equal to Is. Bd. currency, while the shilling, which is equal to two_ sixpences, is to be. legal tender for but is. 61d. ; a currency debt of 51., consequently, can be dis charged with one hundred and twenty sixpenny pieces, whilst it will require sixty-four shillings if the debt be dis charged in shillings, leaving a profit to the party paying in sixpences of 61 per cent. Thus it is obvious in a very short period the island will be cleared of British crowns, half crowns, and shillings, and that there will be no British silver coin in general circulation but sixpenny pieces.
